...album presses onward to its most interesting track, "Transmitter Down." The climaxing pattern is still prevalent, but the rhythm is steady, and the choice and placement of samples are more inventive and interesting. The guitar distortion and synthesized beeps are steady enough to be danced to. This element, which is integral to the popularity of techno, is absent from Experiment Below. The rhythms are too haphazard to be heard at a dance club, but the melody patterns are too repetitive to be appreciated for its artistically creative elements. This places Hovercraft in a netherworld between light industrial and dance techno...
...Hyperion Theatre Company--the undergraduate Shakespeare group under whose general auspices this production fell--has been pointing proudly to the historical significance of enacting Hamlet in Sanders given the stage's Elizabethan proportions and structure. (You can take a look at playbills and clippings from the last century onward--including Norton's review--in the history of Hamlet in Sanders display that's been set up in the buildings main hall; take a look before they clear it away.)

...brilliant approach of a new millenium. In this finde-de-siecle, so-called Information Age, where URLs serve as book titles, books like The Roaring 2000s are appearing on shelves to herd the masses in the right direction.

Moreover, the ruinous economic impact of World War II on Britain, and--as British writer Patrick French says in his book Liberty or Death: India's Journey to Independence and Division--the gradual collapse of the Raj's bureaucratic hold over India from the mid-'30s onward did as much to bring about freedom as any action of Gandhi's. It is probable, in fact, that Gandhian techniques were not the key determinants of India's arrival at freedom. They gave independence its outward character and were its apparent cause, but darker and deeper historical forces produced...
There's a resolute sunniness about Campbell; she's charming despite adversity, friendly under fire; her affability marches ever onward, like a line of ants. On her Fox TV series Party of Five, her character Julia is beset by such problems as a brother who may be dying and an adulterous husband, but she's always glowingly empathetic, never simply tragic. In the teen-horror flicks Scream and Scream 2, despite being pursued by psychos and serial killers, she exudes likability and warmth. And in her newest film, the sweaty, hormonal romp Wild Things, Campbell glistens with sincerity, even...
